Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If your system has to rely too heavily on virtual memory, you will notice a significant performance drop. The key is to have enough RAM to handle everything you tend to work on simultaneously–then, the only time you “feel” the slowness of virtual memory is is when there’s a slight pause when you’re changing tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Virtual memory is a feature of an operating system that enables a computer to be able to compensate for shortages of physical memory by transferring pages of data from random access memory to disk storage. This process is done temporarily and is designed to work as a combination of RAM and space on the hard disk.
